Sweetbreads with Black Butter

Boil the sweetbreads, and then press them between two plates until cold. Cut them into thin slices, and rub them in plenty of flour. Put one and one-half pounds of butter into a fryingpan, and stir it over the fire until frothy and brown, then put in the sweetbreads, and brown on both sides. When cooked place the sweetbreads on a hot dish, garnish with a few olives and slices of lemon, put a little of the browned butter over, and serve.
